Generally, safe to have surgery after fillers or toxin injection

Michael Weinberg, MD answers: Facelift while Botox or fillers still active?

Is it safe to have a facelift when Botox or cosmetic fillers are still in effect, or would it be better to wait until they have worn off? Will the Botox or filler have any effect on the results?

Surgery is frequently performed in the presence of fillers or toxin. Botox is frequently used before a browlift and or a facelift. I would prefer to use fillers after surgery. The results will likely last longer and less woud be required.
